a blogpost about nothing

I've been having a hard time finding something to blog lately, and didn’t want to bombard you with my shop updates and thrift finds. I know they could get really annoying. Tweets, blogpost, facebook about new finds, new listing, boring! Promise I’d only do a shop updates on Mondays.

So in order to find some ideas, I tried the following activities yesterday…

~I took some photos of my newly cleaned basement to show off here, but weather didn’t cooperate and all the photos are blurry and dark. I’ll try again tomorrow.

~Then I went to the library for an hour to scan some home décor magazines, got lots of photo idea but nothing to write about them.

~Next, I took a short walk to the grocery store; they say movement will get the mind working. Well I got my groceries done at least.

~Then last night, went online to find some tips to beat writer’s block, found this informative site. One tip says: Try to do something out of the ordinary. So I took a shower. Still nothing, so I just surf the web, read my favorite blogs and went to bed.

Hopefully I'll have something more interesting tomorrow...

signs of spring

The gorgeous weather around these parts of the NW had me convinced that spring has officially started. Throughout last week and this weekend the weather has been spring-like. Days like these is when I get motivated to pack so much activities and projects in a day.

This weekend I started and finished two DIY projects. I also started spring cleaning in my basement. I purged some old furnitures, old clothing, knick knacks, boxed them up and dropped them to Goodwill. Took 400 some photos of items to list this week and also wandered around outside to look for some signs of spring in my yard...



I took this picture at about 5 p.m. yesterday...





these pretty little flowers are popping up everywhere...



elephant ears plant that reappears by my front entrance every February...



the Magnolia tree on the front yard...



I haven't seen the Bluejay but I believe he will be coming by very soon, and I'll have this bird bowl filled with water ready for him when he comes by...
